After some investigation it seems the problem is caused by the default keyring 
being set to "default" in:
/usr/share/gajim/src/common/passwords.py
This was done to get around a gnome-keyring bug that still exists.

To unlock it automatically the default keyring should be set to "login"
(at least on my Ubuntu install).  I believe this is the keychain Hardy
automatically unlocks on login.  Attached is a diff of the changed
passwords.py with the orig.

Altenatively, ubuntu could unlock both the login and default keyring on
startup.  I elected not to do this since I think it is cleaner to have
all the startup keys in one keychain.  I hope this helps,
